Be Sure You Are RIGHT.

If [ were a boy again, and knew
what l know now, I would not be quite
so positive in my opinions as l used to
be. Boys generally think that they are
very certain about many things. A boy
of fifteen is a great deal more sure oil
what he thinks he knows than IS a mar
of fifty. You ask the boy a question,
and he will answer you right of, up and
down; he knows all about it. Ask q
man of large experience and ripe wis.
dom the same question, and he will
say: ''Well, there is much to be said
about it. l am inclined, on the whole
to think so and so; but other intelligent
men think otherw Sc"
When l was eighty years old, Travelled
from central Massachusetts, to western
New York, crossing the river at Albany,
and going by canal from Schenectady
to Syracuse. On the canal-boat a kind
ly gentleman was talking to ME one
day, and l mentioned the fact that ]
had crossed the Connecticut River al
Albany. How | got it in my head that
it was the Connecticut River 1 do not
know, for [ knew my geography very
well then; but in some unmistakable
way l fixed it in my mind that the river
at Albany was the Connecticut, and
called it so.
Why" said the gentleman. THAT is
the Hudson River"
"Oh, no.. sir!' l replied politely, but
firmly. YOU'RE mistaken. That is the
Connecticut River"
The gentleman smiled and said nc
more. | was not much in the habit, |
think, of contradicting my elders; but
in this matter l was perfectly sure that
l was right, and SO l thought it my duty
to correct the gentleman's geography.
I felt rather sorry for him that he
should be so Ignorant. One day, after
l reached home, | was looking over my
route on the map, and, 10 !! there was
Albany standing on the Hudson River,
a hundred miles from the Connecticut.
Then l did not feel half so sorry for the
gentleman's ignorance as l did for my
own. l never told any body that story
until I wrote it down on these pages the
other day; but [ have thought of it a
thousand times, and always with a blush
for my boldness. Nor was it the only
time that l was perfectly sure of things
that we're not really so. 1t is hard for
a boy to learn that he may be mistaken;
but, unless he is a fool, he ~learnes il
after a while. The sooner he finds it
out, the better for him. Washington

How Marbles are Made.

An old man living in the Charlestown
District, who for many years was en-
gagged in the marble-makn industry,
gave the following information to a
Budget representative, which may be
of some interest: All marbles with
which the boys, everywhere, amuse
themselves, in season and out of sea-
son, on pavemelts and in shady spots,
are made at Oberstein, Germany.
There are large agate quarries and
mills in that neighborhood, and the re-
fuse is turned to good account in pro-
yiding the small stone balls for experts
to s.knuckle" with. The mode of man.
ufacture is as follows: The stone is
broken into small cubes by blows of a
light hammer. These small blocks of
stone are thrown by the shovelful into
the chopper of a small mill, formed
of a bed stone. having its surface
grooved with concentrated burrows;
above these is the runner" which is
made of hard wood, having a level face
on it's lower surface. The upper block
is made to revolve rapidly, water being
delivered upon the grooves of the bed
stone, where the marbles are being
rounded. 1t takes about fifteen min
utes to finish a bushel of good marbles.
ready for swapping" One mill will
turn out 10, 900 marbles per week.
The very hardest CRACKERS" as the
bows call them, are m ade by Il slower
process, somewhat analogous, however,
to the other.-Boston Budget.
